Main Stand

The first team
left Plough Lane in 1991 to
groundshare with Crystal Palace at
Selhurst Park.After the Taylor Report the Premier
League had made it a stipulation for Clubs
that stadiums be made all seated. It
was felt that the costs of re-developing
Plough Lane or at least trying to make it
all seated were prohibitive and
the Club eventually left.
